在图像分类中，在检测分布（OOD）数据时发生了许多发展。但是，大多数OOD检测方法是在一组标准数据集上评估的，该数据集与培训数据任意不同。没有明确的定义``好的''ood数据集。此外，最先进的OOD检测方法已经在这些标准基准上取得了几乎完美的结果。在本文中，我们定义了2类OOD数据使用与分布（ID）数据的感知/视觉和语义相似性的微妙概念。我们将附近的OOD样本定义为感知上相似但语义上与ID样本的不同，并将样本转移为视觉上不同但在语义上与ID相似的点数据。然后，我们提出了一个基于GAN的框架，用于从这两个类别中生成OOD样品，给定一个ID数据集。通过有关MNIST，CIFAR-10/100和Imagenet的广泛实验，我们表明A）在常规基准上表现出色的ART OOD检测方法对我们提出的基准测试的稳健性明显较小。 N基准测试，反之亦然，因此表明甚至可能不需要单独的OOD集来可靠地评估OOD检测中的性能。

当前的Modus Operandi在改编预训练的模型中涉及更新所有骨干参数，即，完整的微调。本文介绍了视觉及时调整（VPT），作为视觉中大规模变压器模型的全面微调的有效替代方案。VPT从最近有效地调整大型语言模型的最新进展中汲取灵感，在输入空间中仅引入了少量的可训练参数（少于模型参数），同时保持模型骨架冻结。通过对各种下游识别任务的广泛实验，我们表明VPT与其他参数有效调整协议相比获得了显着的性能增长。最重要的是，在许多情况下，VPT甚至在模型能力和培训数据量表的许多情况下都胜过全面的微调，同时降低了每任务的存储成本。

神经网络分类器已成为当前“火车前的Fine-Tune”范例的De-Facto选择。在本文中，我们调查了K $ -Nearest邻居（K-NN）分类器，这是一种从预先学习时代的无古典无模型学习方法，作为基于现代神经网络的方法的增强。作为懒惰的学习方法，K-Nn简单地聚集了训练集中的测试图像和顶-k邻居之间的距离。我们采用k-nn具有由监督或自我监督方法产生的预训练的视觉表现，分为两个步骤：（1）利用K-NN预测概率作为培训期间容易\〜〜硬示例的迹象。 （2）用增强分类器的预测分布线性地插入k-nn。通过广泛的实验在广泛的分类任务中，我们的研究揭示了K-NN集成与额外见解的一般性和灵活性：（1）K-NN实现竞争结果，有时甚至优于标准的线性分类器。 （2）结合K-NN对参数分类器执行不良和/或低数据制度的任务特别有益。我们希望这些发现将鼓励人们重新考虑预先学习的角色，计算机愿景中的古典方法。我们的代码可用于：https：//github.com/kmnp/nn-revisit。

基于自我关注机制的顶部，视觉变压器最近在各种视觉任务上表现出显着的性能。虽然实现出色的性能，但它们仍然需要相对密集的计算成本，随着斑块的数量，自我关注头和变压器块增加而剧烈缩放。在本文中，我们争辩说，由于图像的变化大，因此它们对贴片之间的长距离依赖性建模的需要不同。为此，我们介绍了一个Adavit，一个自适应计算框架，学习在每次输入的基础上派生在整个骨干内的修补程序，自我注意力头和变压器块的使用策略，旨在提高视觉变压器的推理效率图像识别的最小精度降低。以端到端的方式与变压器骨架一起优化，轻量级决策网络连接到骨架上，以便在飞行中产生决定。关于ImageNet的广泛实验表明，与最先进的视觉变压器相比，我们的方法对效率的提高超过了2倍的效率，只有0.8％的准确性，实现了在不同的计算预算上的良好效率/准确性权衡权衡。我们进一步对学习使用政策进行了定量和定性分析，并对视觉变压器的冗余提供了更多的见解。

Deep learning models can achieve high accuracy when trained on large amounts of labeled data. However, real-world scenarios often involve several challenges: Training data may become available in installments, may originate from multiple different domains, and may not contain labels for training. Certain settings, for instance medical applications, often involve further restrictions that prohibit retention of previously seen data due to privacy regulations. In this work, to address such challenges, we study unsupervised segmentation in continual learning scenarios that involve domain shift. To that end, we introduce GarDA (Generative Appearance Replay for continual Domain Adaptation), a generative-replay based approach that can adapt a segmentation model sequentially to new domains with unlabeled data. In contrast to single-step unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA), continual adaptation to a sequence of domains enables leveraging and consolidation of information from multiple domains. Unlike previous approaches in incremental UDA, our method does not require access to previously seen data, making it applicable in many practical scenarios. We evaluate GarDA on two datasets with different organs and modalities, where it substantially outperforms existing techniques.

The development of social media user stance detection and bot detection methods rely heavily on large-scale and high-quality benchmarks. However, in addition to low annotation quality, existing benchmarks generally have incomplete user relationships, suppressing graph-based account detection research. To address these issues, we propose a Multi-Relational Graph-Based Twitter Account Detection Benchmark (MGTAB), the first standardized graph-based benchmark for account detection. To our knowledge, MGTAB was built based on the largest original data in the field, with over 1.55 million users and 130 million tweets. MGTAB contains 10,199 expert-annotated users and 7 types of relationships, ensuring high-quality annotation and diversified relations. In MGTAB, we extracted the 20 user property features with the greatest information gain and user tweet features as the user features. In addition, we performed a thorough evaluation of MGTAB and other public datasets. Our experiments found that graph-based approaches are generally more effective than feature-based approaches and perform better when introducing multiple relations. By analyzing experiment results, we identify effective approaches for account detection and provide potential future research directions in this field. Our benchmark and standardized evaluation procedures are freely available at: https://github.com/GraphDetec/MGTAB.

As one of the prevalent methods to achieve automation systems, Imitation Learning (IL) presents a promising performance in a wide range of domains. However, despite the considerable improvement in policy performance, the corresponding research on the explainability of IL models is still limited. Inspired by the recent approaches in explainable artificial intelligence methods, we proposed a model-agnostic explaining framework for IL models called R2RISE. R2RISE aims to explain the overall policy performance with respect to the frames in demonstrations. It iteratively retrains the black-box IL model from the randomized masked demonstrations and uses the conventional evaluation outcome environment returns as the coefficient to build an importance map. We also conducted experiments to investigate three major questions concerning frames' importance equality, the effectiveness of the importance map, and connections between importance maps from different IL models. The result shows that R2RISE successfully distinguishes important frames from the demonstrations.

Compressed videos often exhibit visually annoying artifacts, known as Perceivable Encoding Artifacts (PEAs), which dramatically degrade video visual quality. Subjective and objective measures capable of identifying and quantifying various types of PEAs are critical in improving visual quality. In this paper, we investigate the influence of four spatial PEAs (i.e. blurring, blocking, bleeding, and ringing) and two temporal PEAs (i.e. flickering and floating) on video quality. For spatial artifacts, we propose a visual saliency model with a low computational cost and higher consistency with human visual perception. In terms of temporal artifacts, self-attention based TimeSFormer is improved to detect temporal artifacts. Based on the six types of PEAs, a quality metric called Saliency-Aware Spatio-Temporal Artifacts Measurement (SSTAM) is proposed. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art metrics. We believe that SSTAM will be beneficial for optimizing video coding techniques.

We propose a distributionally robust return-risk model for Markov decision processes (MDPs) under risk and reward ambiguity. The proposed model optimizes the weighted average of mean and percentile performances, and it covers the distributionally robust MDPs and the distributionally robust chance-constrained MDPs (both under reward ambiguity) as special cases. By considering that the unknown reward distribution lies in a Wasserstein ambiguity set, we derive the tractable reformulation for our model. In particular, we show that that the return-risk model can also account for risk from uncertain transition kernel when one only seeks deterministic policies, and that a distributionally robust MDP under the percentile criterion can be reformulated as its nominal counterpart at an adjusted risk level. A scalable first-order algorithm is designed to solve large-scale problems, and we demonstrate the advantages of our proposed model and algorithm through numerical experiments.

Witnessing the impressive achievements of pre-training techniques on large-scale data in the field of computer vision and natural language processing, we wonder whether this idea could be adapted in a grab-and-go spirit, and mitigate the sample inefficiency problem for visuomotor driving. Given the highly dynamic and variant nature of the input, the visuomotor driving task inherently lacks view and translation invariance, and the visual input contains massive irrelevant information for decision making, resulting in predominant pre-training approaches from general vision less suitable for the autonomous driving task. To this end, we propose PPGeo (Policy Pre-training via Geometric modeling), an intuitive and straightforward fully self-supervised framework curated for the policy pretraining in visuomotor driving. We aim at learning policy representations as a powerful abstraction by modeling 3D geometric scenes on large-scale unlabeled and uncalibrated YouTube driving videos. The proposed PPGeo is performed in two stages to support effective self-supervised training. In the first stage, the geometric modeling framework generates pose and depth predictions simultaneously, with two consecutive frames as input. In the second stage, the visual encoder learns driving policy representation by predicting the future ego-motion and optimizing with the photometric error based on current visual observation only. As such, the pre-trained visual encoder is equipped with rich driving policy related representations and thereby competent for multiple visuomotor driving tasks. Extensive experiments covering a wide span of challenging scenarios have demonstrated the superiority of our proposed approach, where improvements range from 2% to even over 100% with very limited data.
